Pinnacle of the Stars

Chapter 23 23. The White and Flawless Moon Flower
Lu Qiu didn't answer.

After putting down the Gracidia flower, the spirits of the Shamis obviously improved.

The flowers bloomed into green light spots surrounded by fluorescent white. Following Lu Qiu's prayer, they slowly landed on the bodies of the little hedgehogs, and then disappeared.

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his fingers against the cheek of one of them.

That Xie Mi, who was rescued by him, was still in a newborn state.

The little guy who was so sleepy frowned, and kicked his fingers away quite dissatisfied.

Judging by its appearance, it seems that it is not willing to wake up from the beautiful dream for the time being.

Xiangwei looked at Lu Qiu's palm resting in the air, jumped on his hind legs, and swayed back and forth with his four paws tightly hugging it.

"Sorry, N." Seeing Xiangwei's playful movements, Lu Qiu laughed and said, "Although I am very grateful to you for saving me, I still can't promise you."

N was not surprised. He folded his chest and nodded, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Lu Qiu nodded, "You killed those people, right?"

N remained silent and didn't respond, his eyes fell on Lu Qiu's shoulders and he didn't know what he was looking at.

The leaves rustled.

With the beating of shadow and light, Zoroark landed and jumped from the tree.

The movement is brisk and silent.

Then, she quietly looked at Lu Qiu.

There was no hatred or killing intent in his eyes.

It also has its own considerations for the partner chosen by the master.

It's not like I haven't met such an object before, but this time the person seems to be particularly valued by the former.

So, Zoroak sat cross-legged beside N, waiting with him to listen to Lu Qiu's next words.

He turned his head to look at the shadow that appeared suddenly.

Xiangwei Miao gently jumped off Lu Qiu's hand, then squatted on the ground and looked up at him.

'Hello. '

Zoroark bowed his head in response to the gaze looking at him.

'Can you speak down a little bit, I look so tired. '

Suggestive request to the tail cat.

Tilting his head, Zoroark hugged his paws in front of him, then lowered his head and put it on it.

The attitude is good, but the decline is very limited.

After all, it can't lie on the ground in front of N.

If the former revealed it to other friends and found out about it, he would be laughed at.

'thanks. '

Meow to the end shook its tail in satisfaction.

If his servant is willing to agree to the other party, then it doesn't mind taking this guy in front of him as his general.

After all, it looks pretty awesome.

But I will definitely be stronger than it in the future.

Seeing Zoroark and Xiangwei Meow yelling and talking at each other, N suddenly couldn't hold back a laugh.

Like an illusion in a bubble, it disappeared in a flash.

When Lu Qiu looked at him suspiciously, N recovered his cold expression, looked at him squarely and said, "The choice I made was just the same as yours."

Lu Qiu, who understood what the other party was referring to, shook his head, "I didn't kill that guy, he will survive after unlocking Absolute Zero."

N didn't refute, nor did he sneer.

It's not hypocrisy, but he understands that Lu Qiu is right.

Even if he is dominated by hatred, the opponent makes a choice that is different from his own calm down.

That person was indeed alive before he shot himself.

Therefore, he chose to help him.

Lu Qiu took a deep breath, and asked affirmatively, "You didn't set the fire in the city, did you?"

He needs an answer.

Used for Ami.

This is what he promised the other party to do.

N nodded, "I don't have any Pokémon that can emit flames."

"What about the lost Pokémon in the venue?"

"it's here."

As he said that, N took out some elf balls from nowhere: "When the venue was dark, I asked the pickpocket cat to bring it for me."

"It's illegal to snatch other people's Pokémon," Lu Qiu said.

N nodded, "But as I said, their previous trainers are not worthy of having partners. I just did what I should do."

Lu Qiu looked at him and asked, "As Strange Thief Cat Eight?"

"No, it's me."

N shook his head and said, "The Phantom Thief Cat Eight just went to return some things that were arbitrarily stolen by humans to Pokémon. I don't think he will appear again in the future."

"As for the rescued Pokémon, I will send them back one by one to where they came from or where they want to go."

Looking at Lu Qiu, N calmly said: "It's not far away, I'll do it later."

I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

No matter how unwilling to admit it, the frankness and trust given by the other party really moved me a little.

If it was cheating, then he wouldn't mind being fooled for it one time.

Anyway, I still owed the other party half my life.

After solving the problems on my body, I will find a way to return it to N.

"Just now, when you were unconscious."

When Lu Qiu was dazed, N suddenly called him to stop, and then said to Xie Mi's direction: "The little guy you rescued has been begging his companion, from it, I know you made s Choice."

"Hate to admit it, but I was taken advantage of by the Rockets."

Recalling the members of the Rockets who were fully questioned by the iron-masked ninja, N sighed and said: "That guy, that guy named Apollo, heard the news and borrowed the opportunity of the possible appearance of Kaitou Maoba. When the force was attracted, they shot at several places at the same time, and after setting fire to them, they captured the Shaymi who wanted to stop them."

"If I mean that if the Phantom Thief Cat Eight hadn't appeared, then the police officers in the city might have reacted first and stopped the fire first."

Speaking of this, N hugged his knees and leaned against the tree, "Thank you for rescuing the Pokémon in the park."

Zoroark raised his paw to comfort him, but he didn't know how to do it, and he grabbed a few fluffs on his head rather irritably.

While it was secretly hating and blaming itself, a pale red figure leaped and slid past the corner in front of it.

Like flowing water, like shooting stars.

"Snapped!"

A firm slap landed on N's head.

The strength was obviously not small, so that the man was staggered.

Zoroark was stunned, with writing all over his face:
'How dare it? '

"It's okay!" N pressed his friend first, and then looked at Xiang Weimaow who was squatting in front of him, clutching his forehead and said, "Thank you, but I can get better myself, don't do this next time."

"sorry!!"

Under Zoroark's questioning gaze, Lu Qiu grabbed his partner back in embarrassment.

Helping up the crooked hat, N stared at Xiangwei Miao, and under the gaze that was grabbed by the neck and greeted back without fear, he regained his spirits.

Although in Lu Qiu's view, the other party did not show much loss during the process.

"If I had to do it again, would you still make the same choice?" N, who had collected his emotions, looked at Lu Qiu and asked, "If I don't show up this time."

He didn't answer right away, but thought about it carefully.

Start from the beginning, until you run into Team Rocket after rushing out of the flames.

"meeting."

He said firmly:

"And I'll do better."

N was slightly taken aback, and finally couldn't stop laughing and said: "It seems that I have caused you trouble."

Under that contagious smile, Lu Qiu buried his face on Xiang Weimao, surprised by the change in the other party, but also felt helpless: "It's a pity that there is no chance to do it again, so for your last appearance, no matter how much Every time I say thank you."

"I should have come earlier."

N wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and regained his composure from an angle that Lu Qiu couldn't see, "After seeing the flames appearing in the city, I went to the north to rescue the trapped Pokémon. The members of the Rockets team in Mi Ying knew that this happened."

"However, there should be no casualties in the fire that burned in Beicheng."

"Not in the park either." Lu Qiu shook his head and said, "Except for Xie Mi, all the Pokémon that were still there were gathered together."

While the dance party attracted travelers, it also called Pokémon to watch it.

Rejoicing in his heart, Lu Qiu and N looked at each other and smiled.

But the latter was pretended two seconds later than the former.

After all he didn't know why he was laughing.

'Quite a strange feeling. '

The wind at night blew over the top of the tree, stopped for a few strands in the middle, after looking around, then bent down and rushed in front of Lu Qiu, making the latter shiver uncontrollably.

Maybe it's because the power of Xie Mi has not completely dissipated. Although they are a little cold at this time, they are not too uncomfortable.

Thinking back on the short night's experience, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and his fingers scratched Xiang Weimao's forehead, a sense of loss quietly appeared in Lu Qiu's eyes.

Seeing this, N blew the leaves in his hand again.

The melodious music lingers like silver threads, reverberating and swaying, and carries a bit of heavy melancholy.

It's beautiful and beautiful.

It just made Lu Qiu feel even more uncomfortable after hearing it.

He suspected that the other party did it on purpose.

For a long time, when I finished blowing for the third time, I only remembered the little tune in my mind.

N leaned against the moonlight, picked up the leaf with two fingers and shook it gently in front of Lu Qiu's eyes, "Would you like to try it?"

Nodding his head, he stretched out his hand to take the musical instrument from the other party's hand.

The leaves above his head were fluttering, and Lu Qiu suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look at the sound of running and jumping.

"Shamy—"

A grass hedgehog bumped into its arms head-on, and pushed aside the Xiangwei cat who was trying to stop it.

The latter sneered.

On the grass where the Xiemis huddled to sleep before, they were already awake and sat there obediently, casting curious and expectant eyes on themselves.

"Feel sorry."

N whispered behind him:
"I think, your audience tonight is probably only me and them."
